I want to make great songs.
Billy Corgan
I'm Irish and I was born on St. Patrick's Day. I'm lucky sevens.
Billy Corgan
We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down.
Billy Corgan
The weird nihilism that permeates Mellon Collie is extremely relevant to what's going on right now. So many kids are intelligent and articulate, but they don't know what to do with themselves.
Billy Corgan
People try to make a big deal, like I don't want to play my old songs. That's not it. I don't want to play my old songs if that's my only option. That's a different thing.
Billy Corgan
To re-embrace what I once loved about music has been a warming process for me, because it's a good, earned feeling now.
Billy Corgan
In my particular instance, I came from a family that didn't have anything. Everything I earned in life I made. Myself. With songs that I wrote.
Billy Corgan
I was part of a generation that changed the world - and it was taken over by poseurs.
Billy Corgan
Being overly identified with [a certain period of time] becomes a noose around your neck, and people don't want you to grow up, they don't want you to change, they don't want you to evolve.
Billy Corgan
We had a wonderful time with this kind of grunge awareness, where suddenly rock was cool again. People wanted to head loud guitars. It was a great time, and I'm glad we were there. But the gimmick part has worn off.
Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan
And the world so hard to understand is the world you can't live without.
Billy Corgan
I'm not going to die glamorously. I'll probably be eating a Twinkie, take a bite, and fall over.
Billy Corgan
I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.
Billy Corgan
You've got to be ready to be in a great relationship.
Billy Corgan
The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.
Billy Corgan
We can look you in the eye and talk to you about life, heart, love rock'n'roll, whatever, but we do not have the moral authority to tell people how to vote or what to do with their bodies. We are just a rock band.
Billy Corgan
I think rock & roll has prepared me for a lot of flexibility.
Billy Corgan
I'm attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I'm sick of that.
Billy Corgan
I'm from a lower middle class background all my family were immigrants.
